From Maidenhead (SL6) the natural line out is the M4 J8/9 and the A404, joining M4 J11, then A33 and Caversham Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 17.2 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 35 min off-peak becomes 40 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Caversham Road or the Richfield Avenue rendezvous point set for the weekend. Richfield Avenue closes to general traffic across the weekend, so pickups run from the signed rendezvous on Caversham Road.
Address: Richfield Avenue, Reading, RG1 8EQ.
